Allie Rowbottom's great-great-great uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor in 1899 for $450, then sold it in the 1920s for $67 million — nearly a billion dollars in today's money. Lately, Allie's been obsessed with how all that Jell-O money shaped America, and her own family. It's funded generations of Rowbottom women, including Allie, but it's also been a shadow they can't escape. Jell-O became a twisted metaphor for all the bad things that happened to them, to the point that they started to wonder: Are we cursed?Please note: This episode deals with eating disorders.

Axios Middle East correspondent Barak Ravid and national political correspondent Jonathan Swan tell how Donald Trump's grand plan to broker peace between the Israelis and Palestinians was doomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to compromise and a series of bizarre choices that alienated the Palestinians. Through exclusive reporting and a new interview with Trump and others closely involved, Ravid also reveals that the supposed bromance between Trump and Netanyahu is a myth. When Ravid asked Trump, the former president said about Netanyahu, “F--k him.”  Note: This episode contains some explicit language. Credits: The senior producer is Ariana Gharib Lee.
